Summary
About Tibetan Mastiff
Ancient Himalayan guardian breed, large and powerful yet agile, with a thick weather‑proof coat and lion‑like mane. Calm indoors but strongly territorial and vocal when guarding. Deeply loyal, independent, aloof with strangers, and best suited to experienced owners.
About Russkiy Toy
Tiny, elegant toy breed (1–3 kg, 20–28 cm) with smooth or long coat. Lively, athletic, and strongly attached to family, often choosing a favorite person. Alert and vocal, suited to gentle, consistent training and moderate exercise, but physically delicate and needs careful handling.
